Active clinical trials for "Coronary Artery Disease"

This study is being conducted to compare the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of ezetimibe/simvastatin 10/20 mg when administered daily versus doubling the dose of simvastatin to 40 mg in patients with hypercholesterolemia and coronary heart disease.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety of intracoronary cardiac stem cells (CSCs) therapy in humans. Currently, there is no effective intervention to regenerate (regrow) dead heart muscle after a heart attack. The central hypothesis is that CSCs infused into nonviable myocardial segments will regenerate infarcted myocardium by differentiating into cardiomyocytes and other cell types. According to our hypothesis, CSC infusion regenerates myocardium with consequent improvement in contractile function of the heart and general clinical status.

To evaluate the impact of ranolazine extended-release tablets in women with subendocardial ischemia due to microvascular endothelial dysfunction on myocardial ischemia (Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (CMR) extent, severity. To evaluate the impact of ranolazine extended-release tablets in women with subendocardial ischemia due to microvascular endothelial dysfunction on the outcomes of angina (Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ), WISE angina frequency, Duke Activity Status Inventory(DASI) and SF-36).

The purpose of the TAXUS PERSEUS Workhorse trial is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the next-generation Boston Scientific TAXUS paclitaxel-eluting coronary stent system (TAXUS® ElementTM) for the treatment of de novo atherosclerotic lesions of up to 28 mm in length in native coronary arteries of 2.75 mm to 4.0 mm diameter.

The Efector study is an open, randomized and controlled trial assessing the effect of regular exercise training on endothelial function, inflammatory markers, progression of disease, heart rate variability and mental health in patients who have been successfully treated with percutaneous coronary intervention and stent implantation for angina pectoris.

The purpose of REAL-LATE (Correlation of Clopidogrel Therapy Discontinuation in REAL-world Patients Treated with Drug-Eluting Stent Implantation and Late Coronary Arterial Thrombotic Events) trial is to assess the relationship between clopidogrel use and long-term rates of cardiac death or MI after DES implantation in real-world practice and to estimate the duration of dual antiplatelet therapy for preventing the late thrombotic events.

The goal of the main trial was to evaluate the effect of low dose hormone replacement therapy with 1 mg norethindrone/10mcg ethinyl estradiol in postmenopausal women with a history of chest discomfort, myocardial ischemia and no obstructive CAD. For the purposes of this study as a core lab coordinating center, the investigators will be performing P31 MRS core lab analyses; hormone core lab analyses; lipid core lab analyses; glucose, insulin and HOMA core lab analyses; exercise stress test/Holter monitor core lab analyses; brachial artery reactivity test core lab analyses; full study data analyses for manuscript preparation and the writing and submission and publication of manuscript. The main trial duration: December 1999 - May 2003. The ancillary data analysis project duration: April 2006 - March 2010.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether adding estradiol to rapamycin better prevents coronary artery reblockage after drug-eluting stent implantation.

The purpose of the SPIRIT IV Clinical Trial is to continue to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the XIENCE V® Everolimus Eluting Coronary Stent System (XIENCE V®). The XIENCE V® arm will be compared to an active control, represented by the FDA-approved TAXUS® EXPRESS2™ Paclitaxel-Eluting Coronary Stent System (TAXUS®), commercially available from Boston Scientific. TAXUS® EXPRESS2™ Paclitaxel Eluting Coronary Stent System is manufactured by Boston Scientific.

The primary purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of E5555 in subjects with coronary artery disease.
